Foot Young is a Queensland-Australia-based artist who has been carving marble from the Chillago region for forty years. He sailed the oceans for twenty years and much of his work is marine oriented. However there is a remarkable diversity as well, with realistic human figures from miniature to life sized and over, surrealism, stylized works, and some with abstraction.
His work - primarily in marble and bronze sculpture - but he also produces a good range of jewellery in precious metals, micro sculptures as he calls them. Although originals are rarely available, most of his art is offered in reproductions in a cast marble medium which he has perfected over decades and which can be produced in several coloured mediums.
Foot has produced over his forty year career several hundred sculptures ranging from micro sizes up to monumental, one of the largest being the life sized Dugong at the Airlie Beach Lagoon done in the local Whitsunday black marble for the Australian 2001 Centenary of Federation. Another large piece is the 2.4 metre Humpback Whale Breaching in white marble which stands outside of his gallery on Hamilton Island. There is another smaller gallery at Airlie Beach, and his work can also be found at a few other galleries in Australia and the U.S.
He has also produced two instructional DVDs available from his website, as well as a free online treatise on modelled sculpture using modern techniques and materials.
